Quantico will wrap after the current season

After Quantico producers, lead actress Priyanka Chopra apologised for a recent episode of the show, which angered several Indian fans. In a tweet, Priyanka said that she is a "proud Indian" and it was never her intention to hurt anyone's sentiments. "I'm extremely saddened and sorry that some sentiments have been hurt by a recent episode of Quantico. That was not and would never be my intention. I sincerely apologise. I'm a proud Indian and that will never change," she wrote. Earlier this week, television studio ABC, which produces the show starring Priyanka Chopra, issued a statement in which they said: "The episode has stirred a lot of emotion, much of which is unfairly aimed at Priyanka Chopra, who didn't create the show, nor does she write or direct it," reported news agency ANI.

Here's what Priyanka Chopra tweeted:

I'm extremely saddened and sorry that some sentiments have been hurt by a recent episode of Quantico. That was not and would never be my intention. I sincerely apologise. I'm a proud Indian and that will never change.

The episode in question depicted how Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra) foils a terror attack on Manhattan planned by a group of Indian nationalists with the intention to blame Pakistan. After the episode aired last week, a section of the Internet turned against Priyanka and accused her betraying their trust.

Several tweets accusing the show's narrative and Priyanka Chopra were circulated:

I understand that @priyankachopra just an actress and has to do what she is told to "earn money" but no regards for Nation but Rohingyas her tears drop? Either claim to be doll for money or be human and human doesn't mean sympathy for Rohingya alone but nation as well

Latest episode of Quantico is about Hindu men with Rudrakshas who are identified as Indian nationalists with knowledge of Indian government planning a Nuclear attack and blaming Pakistan and the Great priyanka chopra with FBI team stops it
